Published: 26 February 2025
We're delighted to announce Simon Boyde will be one of our main speakers at this year’s YDSA Annual Conference on Thursday 27 March 2025, speaking about Electric Propulsion and Lithium Batteries.
Simon's key message is that electric propulsion systems and lithium battery banks are not new, not dangerous, and frankly are safer than conventional engine installs. Listen to Simon talk and take this opportunity to discuss a hot topic.
